The tmda-filter program does not take a destination mailbox on the command line. Place it on a separate line after tmda-filter is run: | qbiff /home/mordeth/Mailbox | preline /opt/tmda/bin/tmda-filter /home/mordeth/Mailbox However, a message may not make it through tmda-filter; if a confirmation is sent, the message is stored in a pending queue awaiting the sender's reply. That means that many of the biff notifications will be spurious. > or: > > | preline /opt/tmda/bin/tmda-filter /home/mordeth/Mailbox | qbiff > /home/mordeth/Mailbox tmda-filter also does not pass incoming messages through to standard output; therefore, qbiff gets nothing on its standard input in this configuration. Probably the best way to arrange your dot-qmail files is this: | preline /opt/tmda/bin/tmda-filter | qbiff /home/mordeth/Mailbox /home/mordeth/Mailbox This will not trigger biff until a message makes it through tmda-filter successfully and is about to be delivered to your mailbox. Thus, you won't see biff notifications for incoming junk or confirmation replies (from senders). Only original messages will cause a biff notification and only once they have been confirmed or successfully matched against your filter.
